Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Introduction: We determined the status of Canadian training duringsenior residency in laparoscopic, robotic and endourologicsurgery.Methods: Fifty-six residents in their final year of urology residencytraining were surveyed in person in 2007 or 2008.Results: All residents completed the survey. Most residents (85.7%)train at centres performing more than 50 laparoscopic proceduresyearly and almost all (96.4%) believe laparoscopic radical nephrectomyis the gold standard. About 82% of residents participated ina laparoscopic partial nephrectomy in 2008, compared to 64.7%in 2007. Of the respondents, 66% have participated in a laparoscopicprostatectomy and 54% believe the procedure has promisingpotential. Exposure and training in robotic-assisted laparoscopicprocedures seem to be increasing as 35.7% of 2008 residentshave access to a surgical robot and 7% consider themselves trainedin robotic-assisted procedures. Most residents (71.4%) train atcentres that perform percutaneous ablation. However, 65% statethe procedure is performed solely by radiologists. Percutaneousnephrolithotomy is widely performed (98.2%), but only 37.5% ofresidents report training in obtaining primary percutaneous renalaccess. Despite only 12.5% of residents ranking their laparoscopicexperience as below average or poor, an increasing proportionof graduating residents are pursuing fellowships in minimallyinvasiveurology.Conclusion: Laparoscopic nephrectomy is commonly performedand is considered the standard of care by Canadian urology residents.Robotic-assisted surgery is becoming more common butwill require continued evaluation by educators who will ultimatelydefine its role in the urological residency training curriculum.Minimally-invasive surgical fellowships remain popular, as Canadianresidents do not feel adequately trained in certain advanced procedures.Urologists must strive to learn and adapt to new technologiesor risk losing them to other specialties.Introduction : Nous avons vérifié l’état de la formation professionnelleau Canada pendant la dernière année de résidence en chirurgielaparoscopique, endo-urologique et assistée par robotique.Méthodologie : Un sondage effectué en personne a été mené auprèsde 56 résidents dans leur dernière année de résidence en urologieen 2007 et en 2008.Résultats : Tous les résidents ont répondu au sondage. La plupart(85,7 %) recevaient leur formation à des centres effectuant plusde 50 interventions par laparoscopie par année et presque tousles répondants (96,4 %) croyaient que la néphrectomie radicalepar laparoscopie représentait la norme thérapeutique. Environ82 % des résidents avaient participé à une néphrectomie partiellepar laparoscopie en 2008, contre 64,7 % en 2007. Sur le totaldes répondants, 66 % avaient participé à une prostatectomie parlaparoscopie et 54 % croyaient que cette technique était prometteuse.La formation et l’expérience avec les interventions laparoscopiquesassistées par robotique semblent avoir augmenté; eneffet, 35,7 % des résidents en 2008 avaient accès à un robot chirurgicalet 7 % considéraient avoir reçu une formation adéquate surce type d’intervention. La plupart des résidents (71,4 %) recevaientleur formation à des centres effectuant des ablations percutanées,mais 65 % affirmaient que ces interventions étaientréalisées uniquement par des radiologues. La néphrolithotomiepercutanée est souvent effectuée (98,2 %), mais seulement37,5 % des résidents mentionnaient avoir reçu la formation nécessairesur l’obtention d’une voie d’accès percutanée primaire jusqu’aurein. Malgré que seulement 12,5 % des résidents évaluaient leurexpérience en techniques laparoscopiques comme étant en-dessousde la moyenne ou insatisfaisante, une proportion croissante derésidents obtiennent des bourses de recherche dans le domainedes techniques d’urologie minimalement invasives.Conclusion : La néphrectomie par laparoscopie est une techniquesouvent utilisée et considérée comme la norme thérapeutiquepar les résidents canadiens en urologie. La chirurgie assistée parrobotique est de plus en plus utilisée mais nécessite des évaluationscontinues par les enseignants qui définiront en bout deligne son rôle dans le plan de formation des résidents en urologie.Les bourses de recherche sur les techniques chirurgicalesminimalement invasives demeurent populaires, car les résidentscanadiens ne se sentent pas suffisamment bien formés pour utilisercertaines techniques chirurgicales plus avancées. Les urologuesdoivent chercher à mieux connaître les nouvelles technologieset à s’y adapter, sinon ils courent le risque que d’autres spécia -lités se les approprient.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
